Printer¶
The Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro is a high speed FDM bedslinger style printer.
It comes pre-assembled, you only have to mount a few parts like the 'upstanding' frame onto the base frame.
See Anycubic's support page of the Kobra 2 series to find manuals, firmware, video tutorials and more or use the direct links in the following.
The following pictures show the machine.

Note: I didn't attach the filament spool holder to the left side of the machine as it should be done when taking these pictures for being able to put both pictures between each other in a decent size here.
